Once Upon A Time...

I had a dream in which I was somewhere where we were asked to tell stories... they were supposed to be about 3 minutes long. So I told one. In the dream, I was making it up as I went along. I didn't know how it would end until a good idea came to me as I was telling it.

There once was a lovely young girl who lived in the forest with her Granny, a witch. Granny was about yey high to a stump and gnarled. She had wrinkles on her wrinkles and warts on her warts. Her teeth were snaggly and her eyes were crossed.

The young girl (call her Beauty") had begun asking Granny why she didn't fix herself. granny always said she didn't mind how she looked and besides, "it doesn't work that way" and "it's how you are on the inside that counts". But Beauty was not convinced.

She'd heard that there was a wizard who lived deeper in the woods and she was determined to find him and ask if he could "fix" her granny. She'd tried to find him once before... but she'd gotten lost for most of a day. This time, however, she had a map. She'd found it while dusting and cleaning the cottage.

One morning she set off to find the wizard. After walking for several hours, she found a cottage deep in the woods. She knocked.

The wizard answered. He was about yey high to a stump and gnarled. He had wrinkles on his wrinkles and warts on his warts. His teeth were snaggly and his eyes were crossed.

Beauty just looked at him.

"Can I help you young woman?"

"Ah... I've come to ask you to have dinner with my Granny and me" said Beauty (sighing just a little).

"That would be delightful" said the wizard.
